Reverse Engineering 'Immaterial' By Sophie Using Ableton's Wavetable (Free Download Included)

In this Synth Secrets, we’re going to use Ableton Wavetable to show you the foundational elements of Sophie’s ‘Immaterial’. We also have subtitles in Spanish. Click the settings!
Sophie might well have been a reclusive figure, at least at the start of her career, but Sophie’s music was the opposite. The music created in a relatively short time frame was exquisitely produced and wonderfully original. If you’re in the market for progressive, classy and crisp pop music then you should look no further than Sophie. It was no surprise that when Sophie unexpectedly passed away in January 2021, condolences were sent from a wide array of artists including Rihanna, Sam Smith and Vince Staples.
Sophie’s most played song on Spotify is ‘Immaterial’. We’ve recreated the main hook section of the song using Ableton’s built-in instruments and effects, including a clone of the hard-hitting bassline which we brought to life using Wavetable. This is a great bass patch to hold on to. It works in a ton of contexts, from pop to rap, from house to drum and bass.
To follow along, set your BPM to 138.

I would love a video where you recreate some of the sounds from Aphex Twin's Alberto Balsalm. Perhaps the Bass or the plucks ?
